Cast Away (Narry Hybrid AU)

3. Flashcards and Pleases

The next few days are spent the same, Zayn comes over for an hour or more and teaches Harry a little bit. And after only a few days Harry has his own name mastered, along with "eat".

His voice is a thick, slow, and he has a deep British accent, much different than my Irish one or Zayn's Bradford one.

Harry now lays, stretched out, taking a cat nap on my couch. He sleeps a lot, carrying the habit from being a hybrid, but its cute never less. Zayn disagrees though and says we shouldn't let him sleep as much because he needs to develop human habits.

Zayn would be over within a few minutes to teach Harry something new. Harry didn't mind being taught, he seemed to like it. He liked the attention Zayn gave him and how I would praise him when he showed me new words.

Zayn was also teaching Harry some everyday thing, like potty-training and bathing. On the first day of Harry being human, he took a shit and pissed a few times in the clothes I had given him, which if I didn't mention before were skin tight with me being smaller than him. Along with attempting to lick himself clean Harry was still trying to adapt to human life.

A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. I head to the door, opening it to meet a peppy looking Zayn. "Hey, mate." I motion him in.

"Hi, Ni. How's Harry?" He says coming into the house. I start to the living room.

"He's fine." I chuckle. "You just seen him yesterday, but he's taking a nap at the moment." Zayn nods as he follows me to the living room. I go over to Harry, gently shaking his shoulder to wake him up.

"Harry.." I coo. "Zayns here." He begins to wake up, as me and Zayn watch him. Rubbing his eyes, he looks up at us, smiling.

Zayn smiles, "Hi, Harry." Harry smiles.

"Za-e." He tries to say Zayn but can't sound it out right. Zayn smiles.

"We can try that later, but good try Harry." He praises him, even though Harry looks confused at what he said.

"So Zayn what's on your to do list today?" I ask him. He pats the small bag, I hadn't noticed until now.

"I bought some flash cards, like the ones that younger kids would use." I nod.

"Alright, well I need to get some groceries and stuff," I grabs my shoes, slipping them on. "I'll be back in an hour or so." Zayn nods, and sits down next to Harry, immediately getting to work.

I head out to my car. Getting in and taking off down the road towards town.

When I return, its nearly 4. About two hours from the time I left longer than I thought I'd be. I grab my bags, and the McDonald's I bought on the way back, and go inside.

I find Zayn and Harry, siting in the same spot I left them. Their heads look over to me when I come in.

"Sorry I took so long, I grabbed dinner if you guys are hungry." Zayn nods.

"No problem, Ni. It gave more time with Harry." I looks at Harry, he sits quietly, smiles at nothing in particular.

I smile. "What'd he learn today?" Zayn looks at him.

"Harry, can you show Niall, what you learned?" He makes sure to emphasize my name. Harry smiles.

"Niall." He says clearly. I smile at him, ruffle his hair and turn back to Zayn.

"He said my name." I smile widely, Zayn nods smiling at my reaction.

"I know, I taught him, along with a few other words I thought he should know." I nod.

"That's great, he's seems to be making great progress." Harry just watches us talk, probably in his own world.

"Niall. Niall. Niall." Harry says, smiling as he does. Zayn and I both smile at him.

"That's right Harry, this is Niall." Zayn praises him, and I smile. "Can you show Niall any other word you know?" Harry simply ignores Zayn and stares at the bag on McDonald's I had bought.

Zayn looks at what he's staring at. "Are you hungry Harry?" Once again Harry doesn't answer him, he just looks at me.

"F-ooda," he attempts to say the word but then adds, "p-eeze." He makes grabby hands towards the bag, I smile at how cute he was acting as a child.

"Good job Harry." Zayn smiles at him. I take out the food I got, handing Zayn what I got him.

I sit down beside Harry and take out french fries, he tries to grab them from me. I place a few in his hand and he quickly eats them, and once again reaches for more.

I decide just to let him have the box of fries and he begins eating them quickly, while I take out my own food and eat.

After we finish Zayn decides to go home. "Same time tomorrow?" I ask him. He shakes his head.

"Sorry mate, I got a big project for school I need to work on and I got classes.. But I think Liam has time off tomorrow, you should ask him to come over. He can meet Harry." I nod.

"Okay, well let me know when you can come back again." I smile. He nods before heading out.

I look at Harry, he sits, batting at a string on his shirt. He notices me staring and looks up at me. "Niall." He says innocently, smiling as he does. I chuckle.

"Yes Harry, I'm Niall and your Harry." He smiles at me.

"Niall. Harry." He let's out a small giggle to himself. And I could just die at how cute he is. I run my hand through his hair and he slightly purrs.

He moves closer to me and lays his head in my lap. I try to gently move him off me, hoping he'll take the hint but he gets confused and frowns at me. I scoot away from him, so he lays on the couch and not my lap.

Harry just continues to frown at me, wondering why I pushed him away. "Come on Haz, lets go to bed. You must be tired from working with Zayn." I stand up. He just stares at me.

I grab his hands, and pull him up so he's standing. He walks with me as I lead him to the guest room, where he's been sleeping the last few nights.

I lay him down on the bed, and head into my own room. But I notice he gets back up and starts to follow me back. "Harry," I look at him. "Bed." I tell him.

He whimpers as the sternest in my voice. "Niall." He says quietly. I take his hand and lead him back to his room.

"Stay here." Harry looks at me. I go back to my room and make sure to shut the door on my way in. As I sit down on the bed, I here him at my door again, it sounds like he was running his nails against my door like an animal.

"Niall." He says again. "Niall, pw-lease." Harry attempts to say.

I try to ignore his whines and protests but after a few minutes it stops and he is silent, I lay down in my bed. Falling asleep quickly.
